I always get wrong about how NINTENDO will create the next adventure! This is a good surprise everytime!
I can't even imagine how beautiful the graphics will be!

Will Switch 2 reach the Steam DECK specs?? What's possible with that power??

 

[FullMetalx117]

To me, if the Switch 2 can simply just output 4K resolution, that will be good enough

 

[Soodanim]

The next Mario graphics will be less than or equal to current graphics, so I don't need to imagine much. It's all about the art direction for Nintendo, and that's why their games tend to age well.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

I'd rather be surprised with what ever they come up with

 

[MudoSkills]

I don't even know how to start this conversation unless I have a CGI movie as a point of comparison.

 

[L*][*N*K]

I really think that what they accomplished with Zelda in terms of allowing players to creatively navigate the space with fascinating tools could translate very well into a Mario game, I know the second you say "Open World" the mobs will come at you with torches but I personally think an Open World Mario game where you have the freedom to do whatever you want is going to be really cool.

 

[MagnesD3]

I just want an Open World 3d Platformer like Bowsers Fury

 

[Scotty W]

I have made a thread about this before.

My prediction is a Lego Mario. N has a partnership with Lego atm, and have done some interesting work with Mario and Minecraft. Totk probably incorporates many of the features we will see.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

It will look pretty similar but maybe with higher resolution

 

[Banjo64]

Fuck resolution. Waste of resources pure and simple.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Hopefully not Odyssey, good game, but is a treasure hunting Mario, there is barely a challange, plataforming ? What is this ?

Give me Galaxy 3 or somethig more challenging, no more stomp here to get a moon.

We need at least 1080p native, Nintendo games have a incredible art style and direction that suffers cause the low res, go play BotW on 4k in a emulador, its other game.

 

[Evil Calvin]

If it's the OG Switch then it will be exactly like SMO 1. Low detail and will run fine. Really need a Switch 2. Zelda TOTK is really foggy. Great game but almost as foggy as N64 games.

 

[RagnarokIV]

I love the OPs super enthusiastic writing style.

 

[kruis]

We should count ourselves lucky if Nintendo can deliver native 1080p in docking mode on a future Switch

 

[acm2000]

take a games graphics from 10 years ago, then dream as you will probably need to go back another 5 years.

 

[Robb]

I don’t think it’ll look all that different, it’s not like they drastically change the artstyle each game. I’m sure it’ll look great though.

 

[analog_future]

Fuck resolution. Waste of resources pure and simple.

After seeing the blurry, aliased messes that are most Switch games on my 77" OLED, I literally couldn't disagree more.

I don't play Switch games any more because of this. PLEASE bring 4k to Switch 2!

Just play in handheld 3 inches from your face.

 

[brian0057]

The game can look like Super Mario 64 for all I care.
If it's good (and they usually are), I'll play it.

 

[analog_future]

I don't want to play in handheld.

Basically if you combine Odyssey and Bowser's Fury, you get a direction that is already pretty close to this.

 

[cireza]

Same as New Super Mario Bros on DS, as usual ?

 

[existensmaximum]

I want native 1080p. I'd be more than happy with Super Mario Odyssey quality but 1080p60 docked. Which is at most what I'm expecting.. If we even get that.

I don't care about 4k (and there is 0% chance we're getting that anyway) as long as the game isn't a shimmering, blurry mess on a big TV.

 

[Codes 208]

Even if it is on a switch 2, it’ll likely look like bowser’s fury or odyssey, just at a higher resolution with sharper details

I mean, it’s mario, the series has a distinct artstyle so its not like theyre going to go for photorealism

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Is that you, ChatGPT?

 

[Max_Po]

in 25 years they may get close to Ratchet on PS5.

 

[TGO]

Slightly better then the current Switch graphic but 1080p in Handheld mode.
1440p docked.
That's if Nintendo goes that route again.

 

[Kikorin]

I'm still surprised today about how incredibly good Mario Kart 8 looks, and they made it on Wii U in 2014, so I'm sure will looks incredible.

Mario Odyssey looks amazing too IMHO, but the "realistic" art style is not my favourite.

 

[Sleepwalker]

in 25 years they may get close to Ratchet on PS5.

About the same time itll take ratchet to be nearly as fun as Mario games.

 

[Kataploom]

IDK but even if it's on switch I can see a noticable graphics improvement coming, the more I play TOTK the more I see improvements on lighting, materials, textures, etc. Game is beautiful, way more than BOTW... So I can see them doing the same there.

 

[JackMcGunns]

 

[Max_Po]

Try playing it... it is already more fun than odyssey....

 

[THE DUCK]

Depends on the amount of competition, at this rate with no dedicated console player releasing a hybrid, the next mario will look identical to this one because we will still be playing on Switch.......

 

[drotahorror]

To me, if the Switch 2 can simply just output 4K resolution, that will be good enough

What games are you playing at 4K anyway on consoles? Most images are reconstructed.

 

[AJUMP23]

I hope in the next game Mario has to defeat WART. Maybe Bowser can help and Wart could invade from dream land.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Joke or not, I'd love to see a return to the weird world of Mario 2.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Bro Tears of the Kingdom looks just like the 6 year old game which looked like a 6 year old game already at launch

It would not surprise me that it launches on the current 8 year old underclocked Tegra X1 and looks similar to Odyssey

 

[Astral Dog]

The next 3D Mario adventure should look great for sure

I hope they have a more consistent artstyle though, Odyssey was good but not a game i want a 'direct' sequel of, gameplay or setting keep trying new things

 

[Astral Dog]

Implication is that it would be made for Switch 2

It can be cross gen of course, any game might be for the next few years

But if it was made for Switch 2, we can imagine a huge improvment over Odyssey, fans just watched the movie they are dreaming what the proper 'next gen' Mario will look like

it doesn't need PS5 specs to look great

 

[FullMetalx117]

May not be describing what I want right - but as others have mentioned, Switch games do not look good on 77" OLED. The blurriness/low resolution is actually noticeable and I tried it with Zelda TotK. Whatever it takes it fix that, I hope they fix it.

 

[Azelover]

Nothing is set in stone when it comes to power. I'm curious too, but not because of what is expected. If there is no considerable innovation, Nintendo won't even get out of bed in the morning.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

well mario party looks pretty clean, ha.

mcable helps with aa a bit.

if switch 2 doesnt have 4k + dlss ill be disappointed.

 

[Days like these...]

I don't really care what the game looks like as long as it's nothing like Odyssey. Worst Mario game ever.

 

[German Hops]

These bots are really taking over, innit?

 

[BootsLoader]

Almost same graphics, better reflections, better physics in many cases, bigger world, higher resolution.

 

[Beechos]

There's a scene in the new mario movie that pays homage to the old 2d marios. If Nintendo devs had ps5/xbox power im sure a 2d mario can be made to look like that.

I can imagine, they'll still be, at the very least, one generation behind the current games we have now on consoles.

I bet the game will be great, but visually, it's not going to be pushing any boundaries in the industry.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I’m assuming the game will look very similar visually even on the next generation hardware which I expect to be slightly to noticeably stronger/faster than the Switch.

 

[Roman Empire]

Be glad if you get anything close to 2020 phone specs by the time Switch 2 launches. You all be the first in line to pre-order it, don't even lie about it. Because I know I will.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Id love to see a side by side comparing Sunshine/Galaxy and Odessey all at same resolution
